Worst The Simpsons Episodes from the First 10 Seasons

Even though I love the first 10 seasons and this was a pretty hard one to choose.
The Top Ten
1 The Principal and the Pauper (Season 9)

The episode is ridiculous and shouldn't have been made, because his father was in the army with Homer's in an earlier episode (They also forget Mr Burns age he was supposed to be only 81 but now he's older than 100+ but no one else ages, you know a 3 year old Maggie) but it has some funny bits.
The beginning Skinner likes dog food, and Homer eating it.
Principal Skinner? Up yours children
Maybe the ending bit.

Maybe it could've worked in Season 1 or 2. Like maybe before finding out his father was in the army. It was a funny episode but it shouldn't have aired in Season 9. Just in earlier Seasons when it was just starting. How the other Skinner would've been an awful Principal and the "imposter" was the best.

This episode almost probably ruined The Simpsons itself, and of course ruined Season 9.

Wow, what a twist -3- this plot has been done much better before.

2 The Simpsons Spin-off Showcase (Season 8)
3 All Singing, All Dancing (Season 9)
4 Simpsons Bible Stories (Season 10)

This episode actually sucked, but the episodes ending saved it and was quite memorable, and lets not mention it was quite blasphemic as well.

5 Homer the Smithers (Season 7)

This was actually a great episode, with a lot of funny scenes such as Homer punching Mr. Burns, and the Smithers fighting scene!

Do you remember Homer making cereal and it went on fire. Oh and Mr Burns - Doughnuts I told you I don't like ethnic food.

6 Homer Simpson in: Kidney Trouble (Season 10)
7 Homer's Odyssey (Season 1)
8 My Sister, My Sitter (Season 8)

Lisa wanted to be a babysitter, she was babysitter for Ralph and Flanders kids. But a BIG mistake with Bart. Except for classic bits like the ice cream has caffeine in it which Bart gave to Maggie. The go to bread. Homer walking into the fountain.

This episode was so god awful. Lisa is trying so hard to prevent Bart from being mischievous, but always fails. The jokes weren't funny, it was just painful to watch. In my opinion, the absolute worst Simpsons episode of all time.

Jokes weren't funny what Go To Bread has been one of my favourite quotes since I was a child watching it on BBC2.

It was just the babysitting Bart which was a bad idea. I mean he is two years older than her.

9 Another Simpsons Clip Show (Season 6)
10 A Millhouse Divided (Season 8)

Before this episode, Milhouse's parents were Milhouse's parents. From this episode onward, in the name of "character development" his mother became a self-obsessed slt and his father became a pathetic loser (as if the show needed any more of those).

Glad to see this one here, and this high. Everywhere else I go, everyone talks about how great this episode is. There was indeed too much drama like RickyReeves said. Also, though, prior to this episode Milhouse's parents were really just that, nothing more. Effective this episode, well, now I wanted to punch my T.V. every time either of them appeared or spoke.

The Contenders
11 Monty Can't Buy Me Love (Season 10)
12 Saturdays of Thunder (Season 3)
13 When You Dish Upon a Star (Season 10)
14 Viva Ned Flanders (Season 10)

Clearly they were reaching as far as ideas. Kind of glad they killed off Homer's "other wife" eventually, but they shouldn't have done that plot either way.

I blame the whole thing on Homer for after what he did to Ned Flanders and himself.

15 Fear of Flying (Season 6)
16 Bart Gets an F (Season 2)

What are you talking about? This episode is one of the best ever!

17 Homer's Night Out (Season 1)

The first time Simpsons made a bad episode. The only good part was the beginning with the spy camera.

18 Mountain of Madness (Season 8)
19 Lisa Gets an 'A' (Season 10)

I loved this one... Homer and Lisa's stories were so funny, with Homer in the end eating his lobster and crying... Who would put this on here?!

I hate when the comments are made about how awful the show has come when they could just change the channel.

20 Cape Feare (Season 5)

Are you kidding? This was one of the GREATEST episodes!
Unique and funny quotes, dark humor, Sideshow Bob at his very best, the rakes gag... What's not to like?

Last Exit to Springfield, Cape Feare, Marge vs the Monorail, Homer the Smithers...
Why are all the good episodes on this list?

21 The Trouble With Trillions (Season 9)
22 Trash of the Titans (Season 9)

People give this one too much credit simply because it was the milestone 200th episode

23 Colonel Homer (Season 3)
24 Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington (Season 3)
25 Miracle On Evergreen Terrace (Season 9)
